Pan Am Clipper Connection's Internet Flies with OpenDNS
Airline chooses OpenDNS for employees in all locations; Director of MIS enjoys worry-free DNS service.
Jul 2, 2007 — San Francisco -- OpenDNS, the award-winning DNS provider that makes the Internet safer, faster, smarter and more reliable, today announced Pan Am Clipper Connection switched to OpenDNS from its ISP's DNS service. Pan Am Clipper Connection is a scheduled service airline providing commuter travel in the Northeast U.S., as well as offering large aircraft charter service worldwide. OpenDNS is the world's-largest, fastest-growing DNS service.
With 150 employees using computers regularly in locations all over the eastern United States, it is important all employees maintain uninterrupted Web access in order to serve customers' needs in real time. The Airline decided to make the switch to OpenDNS because it simply cannot afford any outages and OpenDNS' perfect uptime record, combined with faster speeds than using its ISP's DNS, made OpenDNS the ideal solution.
"OpenDNS has provided us absolutely trouble-free DNS. We haven't had a single problem since switching," said Kevin S. Blaisdell, Director of MIS for Pan Am Clipper Connection.
Pan Am Clipper Connection is currently using OpenDNS for all Web DNS requests originating from all corporate locations. OpenDNS has provided Pan Am Clipper Connection with 100 percent Internet uptime and freed its employees from annoying Internet outages.
"OpenDNS gives Pan Am Clipper Connection an edge over competition. With OpenDNS, our employees are able to operate much faster on the Web," continued Blaisdell. "Ridding us of Internet outages caused by DNS allows all Pan Am Clipper Connection employees to support our customers even faster than before."
